Introduction to Cinema Theory

Introduction to Cinema Theory offers a comprehensive history of cinema theory during the "cinema century." The book moves from silent era theorists such as Vachel Lindsay and Hugo Munsterberg to recent developments in film theory and cultural studies (cognitive theory, Deleuze, Queer theory, postcolonial theory, digital theory). The book, which has an international scope, includes developments in countries such as France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Great Britain, the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina and tries to emphasize the connections between these developments. It examines cinema theory together with more detailed historical and philosophical movements. With its sophisticated yet understandable language, Introduction to Cinema Theory provides a clear and coherent introduction to a rich and colorful field.

"An outstanding synthesis that can be recommended to anyone who wants to understand the questions and debates that have shaped film theory in the twentieth century. Stam's analysis is thoroughly lucid, productive and intelligent."
-Prof. James Naremore, Indiana University-
